  1. Knowledge Web Area Managers and Managing Directors overview (2005)

  2. The big challengue • Realizing the Semantic Web. It requires • Support the transition process of Ontology technology from Academia to Industry, OUTREACH TO INDUSTRY • Promote and generate educational activities on the Semantic Web, OUTREACH TO EDUCATION • Coordinate the research on Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services, COORDINATION OF RESEARCH

  3. The potential • Critical mass of scientific and technological leaders in the field of ontologies and Semantic Web from several European countries • Leading Universities and Research Centers in Ontologies and the Semantic Web • Leading partners in Multimedia • Leading partners in Human Language Technology • Leadings partners in Workflow • Leading partners in Agents

  4. The instruments • A Network of Excellence • 48 months • 6.7 millions as a grant for integration • Not only!! • Cooperation with other networks, projects, and initiatives

  5. The results • Strong European industry in Semantic Web enabled e-work and e-commerce • Leading European research on Semantic Web, Semantic Web Services and its applications • Well-established European education on Semantic Web, VISWE • High and durable impact

  6. The structure • Project Coordinator and spiritual leader: Dieter Fensel, UIBK • Scientific director: Guus Schreiber (VU) • Scientific vice-directors: • Jérôme Euzenat, INRIA • Asun Gómez-Pérez, UPM • Area managers: • Industry: • Alain Lèger, FT • Robert Meersman, VUB • Research: • Carole Goble, VUM • Rudi Studer, UKARL • Education • Enrico Motta, OU • Wolfgang Nejdl, L3S • Managing Directors: • Alice Carpentier, UIBK • Leonarda Haid-García, UIBK • Francisco Martin-Recuerda, UIBK

  7. Industry Area: Main Goal • Promote greater awareness and faster take-up of SW technology by industry • in close and permanent synergy with the research area • How? create a feedback loop between industry and research, including education and training “bridge the gap” between industry and research (bi-directional process!) Academia

  8. Industry Area: setting up Formulate new scientific challenges from industrial needs • Establish Industrial Board (inspired by OntoWeb/SIG4) • Collect and analyse business uses cases, systemic requirements Evaluate technology with respect to industrial needs • Propose methods of evaluating ontology usability and usefulness • Analyse utility of ontology-based tools • Propose a unified SW framework for interoperability and services Establish cross-project research through related efforts • Cooperate with other networks and projects (e.g. Agentcities, REWERSE, OntoWeb, SWWS, DIP, …

  9. Industry Area: outreach Show the added value of Semantic Web technology in applications • Identify, capture and promote successful business stories • Produce technology roadmaps • Organize promotional events: seminars, workshops, conferences Creation of Semantic Web Portal • For integrating the activities of KWeb partners • For promotion of technology to industry activities Make recommendations on how to develop and deploy ontologies • Capture best practices and guidelines for deployment • Contribute to standards work (inspired by OntoWeb/SIG1) Establish requirements for “Ontology Outreach Authority” • As meeting place for interacting with industrial parties • Future certification and publication of ontologies, and ontology-based tools

  10. Industry Area: workplan WP 1.1: Industrial application needs (Started, led by FT) WP 1.2: Evaluation for technology selection (Start mo.6, led by VUB) WP 1.3: Technology recommendations (Started, led by VUB) WP 1.4: Promotion of ontology technologies (Start mo.6, led by UIBK) WP 1.5: Cross-network cooperation (Started, led by UIBK) WP 1.6: Semantic portal infrastructure (Started, led by UPM)

  11. Research Area: Motivation • Previously – Making the Semantic Web a possibility • Now – Making the Semantic Web a reality • Key role of ontologies • Goal: Transform ontology technology into a mature building block for the Semantic Web • Key points: • Scalability • Heterogeneity • Dynamics • Ingestation by Industry • Dissemination through Education

  12. Research Area: Vertical activities • Semantic Web Services • Focal point of research • Provides test cases and problem settings • Industry outreach • Semantic Web language extensions • Disseminate results to various standardization bodies • Virtual research centre • Coordinate and foster collaboration • Monitor and evaluate excellence and integration of research

  13. Research Area: Workpackages • WP 2.1 Scalability (VU) • WP 2.2 Heterogeneity (INRIA) • WP 2.3 Dynamics (NUIG) • WP 2.4 Semantic Web Services (NUIG) • WP 2.5 Semantic Web language extensions (VUM) • WP 2.6 Towards a Virtual Research Centre (UKARL) • International coordination activities: SDK

  14. Education Area: Goals • Different communities: Educational, industrial and research communities • Different kinds of students: students, professionals, researchers • Found an institution (EASE) to support all communities in an integrated way

  15. Education Area: workpackages • 3.1Foundations for Virtual Institute for Semantic Web Education (VISWE) • 3.2Educational content and event provision – Course materials, educational events, summer schools, complete courses and training programmes • 3.3Semantic delivery platform – Development of a Semantic Platform for delivering/interacting with learning material about Semantic Web
